Burrell began his career with the Phillies as a first overall pick in the 1998 MLB Draft. Burrell made his debut in 2000 and ended his tenure with the Phillies after […]
Phillies fans are known for being incredibly sharp and come up with many clever things. Now that Ozzie Guillen said some stupid things that really upset the Marlins fanbase and is suspended and won't be at Citizens Bank Park tonight. What can Phillies fans come up with for tonight's game against the Marlins? Here […]

Posted by Kevin Durso Shane Victorino didn't shy away from questions about his actions on Friday night. He knew this was coming, but what he didn't know was how long or for what he would be sitting out games for.

Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of The 700 Level I wouldn't want to face a team with game faces like that. Yikes. Even worse for the Giants, Cole Hamels started today against Matt Cain.

Tonight, they played the second version of Phillies baseball, […]

This game was just exciting to watch, especially because of the smack-talking Giants fans who could have sworn that their team would win this game! Oh, how they were wrong. Not only was their ace starter, Tim Lincecum, scratched from tonight's game […]
